Gregg Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Jonathan Jones on Twitter: "The Giants and left tackle Andrew Thomas have agreed to a five-year contract extension worth $117.5 million, source says. ESPN first to report. Giants have taken care of a lot of family business this offseason." / Twitter Quote

Looks like Schein doing his best to keep core guys together with the Giants. Yet with questions about their long term playmakers on offense they might struggle to take the next step in their development. Quote
JerseyBills Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) He was elite but for 23.5 per I think I'd rather have a an above average Dawkins at 14 per and ability to add a Floyd at DE but then again, Giants have basically no choice but to pay him market value Edited July 27, 2023 by JerseyBills 2 5 Quote
Bray Wyatt Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 It is good for the culture to show them you will pay for performance. They can afford it at this point and buys a ton of goodwill with the locker room imo. Quote

GunnerBill Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) He is the classic case for don't judge a player after 1 year. He sucked as a rookie. Rounded into a very good, borderline elite LT. Edited July 26, 2023 by GunnerBill Quote

Pretty much the same base money, just added a minuscule amount (relatively to most in the NFL) of incentives. Quote

Virgil Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 That is a huge chunk of change. With all the roster rework they are doing, I'm sure it will feel like a bargain in 2-3 years when they have to start paying other positions. Just crazy how much some of these guys are making now, but it's not my team or money. Agreed about Barkley though. I would be peeved 1 Quote

Saffold sucks. He has honestly never been that good. How he has had the career he has remains an utter mystery to me. Quote

These guys are dumb. What's the point of paying an agent? Quote
